So David did not bring the ark to himself, to the city of David, but he turned it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
In context
11David was angry, because Yahweh had broken out against Uzza; and he called that place Perez-uzza, as it is still called today. 12David was afraid of God that day, and said, “How can I bring the ark of God to myself?” 13So David did not bring the ark to himself, to the city of David, but he turned it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. 14The ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house for three months, and Yahweh blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that he had.
